1964 Masters Gift - Bridge Set

        Augusta National famously gives out a gift to members and supporters each year after the Masters Tournament. Presented in this auction is a great collection of these Masters Gifts, which have been painstakingly assembled over many years by our consignor. Most of these rare gifts are among the nicest you will ever see.

        Presented here is the famous 1964 Masters Gift - an Augusta National Bridge set. Bridge was extremely popular in the early years at Augusta National. Among the most frequent players were Clifford Roberts, Bobby Jones and Dwight Eisenhower. This 1964 Masters gift is in superb condition. Not only is the example presented here the finest we've seen, it is likely the finest example in existence. This great Bridge Set comes with all of its original pieces, including the pencils, and is in the original box. This set was presented to legendary golf commentator John Derr, and is emblazoned with his name on the cover.
